Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Physically, I like the capless style of the drive and that it has a slightly rubberized feel to it. It has been hard to find some speeds for this drive so I wanted to provide feedback for people looking for a fast USB 3.0 drive with a great value. These tests are with the drive formatted NTFS, but I provided Crystal results below for FAT32 as well. The test machine is a quad core i7 with 16GB of RAM and a Crucial M4 512GB SSD as the system disk. I am getting 168MB/s read and almost 47MB/s write speeds on large files > 1GB which match with what Crystal Disk Mark is reporting. Crystal Disk Mark 3.0.1 x64 Win7 formatted NTFS: seq 168.2 46.71 512 134.8 1.156 4k 6.055 0.034 4kq 6.666 0.050 Formatted FAT32: seq 168.2 46.87 512 100.5 0.896 4k 5.836 0.032 4kq 6.170 0.039 I haven't had any problems with the drive in any way, but only used it between two different systems.
